Abstract
Examples include a method of determining a first traffic overload protection policy for a first service provided by a first virtual network function in a network of virtual network functions in a computing system and determining a second traffic overload protection policy for a second service provided by a second virtual network function in the network of virtual network functions. The method includes applying the first traffic overload protection policy to the first virtual network function and the second traffic overload protection policy to the second virtual network function, wherein the first traffic overload protection policy and the second traffic overload protection policy are different.
